Placed in the centre of a garden bed, they can be underplanted with low growing shrubs and bulbous plants for an harmonious effect; or underplanted with grass for a contrasting statement. Alternatively, the tree can be situated at the end of a long garden to draw visitors out into the garden.
In a deciduous forest, itâs hard to miss the trees. Youâll find hardwoods such as maple, oak, hickory, and beech. And even though itâs a deciduous woodland, there might be some evergreens, such as hemlock, spruce, and fir. A deciduous forest can have three, four, or as many as five layers of plants: Top layer or canopy: tall deciduous trees. Although the canopy is very thick, it will allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, enabling the other layers to grow. Second layer: saplings and shorter types of trees. Third layer or understory: shrubs. Fourth layer: forest herbs, such as wildflowers and berries. In spring, before the deciduous trees develop their leaves, these herbs bloom and grow to take full advantage while they get the most sunlight.
